LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

sup, friend? how's the weekend treating you so far? believe it or not, i spent most of yesterday evening with my parents in the middle of the woods. we were helping out at a church event for the youth group. basically teams of teens were running around the woods trying to find stations (where my parents and i came in) and had to complete all these crazy tasks without getting caught by the "reapers."

it was sooo dark and the tasks they had to complete were nasty or just super challenging. tasks that include eating nasty burritos filled with noodles, mustard, shrimp paste, dried fish, etc. (c/o of me and the parents), finding a gummi worm in a bowl of live worms, spitting a live cricket from mouth to bowl...need i go on? my sister and her friends said they had a blast and my parents and i enjoyed manning our station. seeing the teens reactions to the burrito...priceless.

i just read your comment-- where in sc did you live? i moved to charleston for a few months after college. totally missing that weather now! i hope youre loving chicago tho :) theres always tons to do in the city. happy wedding planning! have a great weekend :) xoxo jcd
